Good news never arrives alone.
Just two days after being recalled to the France team, after more than a year of absence, French international winger Ousmane Dembélé became the father of a little girl for the first time on the night of Friday to Saturday, a confirmed Catalan coach Xavi after the 3-0 victory against Elche for the 6th day of La Liga.
“He showed a lot of commitment today as he became a dad last night and he got very little sleep in the hospital.
I asked him how he was and he told me:
I want to play
,” Xavi said in a post-match press conference.
The news had leaked earlier today, via Spanish radio Cadena Cope, as the 25-year-old international married last December in Morocco.
"He deserves his selection in the France team"
“He is involved and very committed to the club, he is a professional.
Since I've been here, I've been very happy and satisfied to have it available.
It generates a sense of security.
When he receives the ball on his side, we know that a lot can happen.
He deserves his selection for the France team,” said Xavi on Saturday after the match against Elche.
After a series of several months, in which Paris Saint-Germain was engulfed at first, Ousmane Dembélé decided to prolong the adventure with the Catalan club, extending his lease with FCB until 2024 on July 14 last.
